Jim Carroll, RIP: This song is for you, my brother

Jim Carroll, author and musician, died last week of a heart attack. Carroll will be remembered for two pieces of art: His book "The Basketball Diaries" and his album "Catholic Boy." "The Basketball Diaries," written when he was a teenager, is pure and honest. "Catholic Boy," an album released in 1980 after Carroll was encouraged to perform with a band by Patti Smith, is pure energy. "People Who Died" gets all the attention, but the whole album kicks it hard.
